Review on Zixtec Disconnect Terminals Connectors Connector Exterior Accessories by Andargie Marquez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value but tight fit on bundled connectors

Included 45A open shell contacts allow for easy acceptance of 10 and 12Ga stranded wire while the TC 1-Crimping Tool This ensures a secure and reliable connection of wires every time. The contacts were well made and slotted into the included housings (and other Anderson-style connector housings) just as well. There was resistance at times, but no worse (or better) than the original Anderson cases. Once assembled, connecting and disconnecting using mating connectors (also from several other sources) was easy and consistent. No voltage drop (or heating) of the connectors was observed when the CIM and other robot motors were under load. However, as previously mentioned, the mating of two or more of these connector housings results in very tight connections which, in many cases, cannot be fully installed (or disassembled) without the use of pliers or a vise. Reliable connectors are generally a robotic advantage, but disassembly is required from time to time for repairs or redesigns, hence a star has been deducted. If disassembly of pairs of connector housings is required more frequently, more than one star is likely to be downgraded. The plugs are supplied in a handy little plastic storage box. Once the pens and cases were used, these boxes came in handy for organizing small parts of a project. Would order again - this is good value for 45 amp Anderson style contacts and packages in moderation.
